This is my go-to spot for tacos, ceviche, guacamole, and chips with salsa. As someone born and raised in Mexico City, this place reminds me of some of the restaurants back home. Must try.

As always, an excellent experience today. Ariana was our food server and was friendly and helpful. However, what stands out is that the new manager, John,, stopped by and chatted with us for a while. Of course he was interested in how it was going for us and shared a little more of his background what brought him there. Up shot … folks are paying attention there. Coupled with the excellent food, it made for a nice outing.

Our server was very friendly and did an awesome job. The weird part of our experience was that someone had the same name, number of guests, and reservation time as us so there was some confusion. It was our table but someone from the other party almost took our table. Luckily our whole party was there and not the other group.
